Would they be so dumb as to prepetrate such an obvious and dumb stunt?

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:07:10 +0000http://cryptomundo.com/?p=70286#comment-92516An “extraordinary claim” is sometimes in the mind of the doubter only. So an “extraordinary claim” is an extraordinary claim, and often that’s all there is to it.

I will openly admit to genuine enmity towards Card Sagan, and also Isaac Asimov, because both ridiculed and tried to destroy the career of Immanuel Velikovsky, a man who was genuinely too dignified to offer them the rebuttals they richly deserved.

Velikovsky’s theories and claims are being verified more each passing decade, yet not one member of the Scientific Mafia will give him his due. Sagan’s behavior, in particular, was utterly reprehensible towards Velikovsky, who practically single-handedly invented Interdisciplinary Studies. Entire books have been written about Sagan’s savaging of Velikovsky, and his shameless misquoting of V. to make him look bad.

If Sagan were alive today, he’d likely be ridiculing Cryptomundo and misquoting it.

@dconstrukt – this type of elaborate press conference is nothing new. Just check out some of Tom Biscardi’s exploits. Sucker born every minute !

While it did not originate with him, Carl Sagan is generally credited with popularizing the adage, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

Moreover, “in respect to” does not necessarily imply – as your question seems to indicate – that veneration or deference is due, rather it is meant as a synonym for “in reference to” – but I suspect you already knew that, right?

As to Carl Sagan, Goodfoot, I think airforce47 is using him as an exemplar of the scientific method, and I for one think he’s a good one. “The Dragons of Eden,” “Broca’s Brain” both good reads. “The Demon Haunted World” starts well, but by then Carl was dying and his extremist wife injects her political agenda towards the end. Correlation is not Causation a great tenet that few “scientists” really live by anymore.

I can see dconstrukt’s point, why go through all the rigamarole? But I’d say that if we are dealing with people who have no shame and who have and continue to lie, then a show like this isn’t surprising. On the other hand, if it is a fraud, then how are they making any money off stuff like this?

The videos? I don’t know. The “mother” looks fake to me. The teeth just don’t look primate. We have old footage of a orange shag carpet thrown over somebody in the woods. And we have a “juvenal” that walks around like the pantomime Princess Margret.

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:16:10 +0000http://cryptomundo.com/?p=70286#comment-92500The footage is unashamedly fraudulent. That they would offer it as “proof” of anything but their own ineptitude and mendacity has me looking for something stronger than my fingers to scratch my head with.

Why would they offer such obvious fakes as “proof” is utterly beyond me. It just doesn’t add up to me.
